VEGGIE FRITTATA WITH GARLIC
We love to make our Veggie Frittata with Garlic, it is so versatile that you can use any vegetable for breakfast or brunch. We will sometimes bake 2 or 3 and save a little for later as a snack. The secret to the flavorful taste of this frittata is the addition of garlic spread. A frittata is so very versatile, that you can use any veggies you have on hand. In this recipe, we had broccoli, cauliflower, fresh spinach, yellow and green onions, and spinach. It made for a delicious combination. And, with the addition of Mediterranean spice mix and garlic spread, along with cheese, it was an instant hit. Have fun and mix up different veggies with whatever herbs you have. Red peppers and zucchini are a huge favorite in our family. It’s fun to be creative with your favorite herbs and veggies. So have a little fun with your frittata! Bon appétit.
